Career Cruising
Career Cruising Log-in and password information is available in the Student Services Office for Lawrence Free State High School Students.
Career Cruising has been developed with one goal in mind: making a comprehensive career guide that people will truly enjoy using.
While in school, we noticed a common problem among our peers—few of us knew what to do with our lives after graduation. Our understanding of our career options was very limited, and was often based more on inaccurate stereotypes than the reality of the working world.
To address these problems, we set out to create a career guidance resource that would have appealed to us when we were in school. Our aim with the initial version of Career Cruising was to develop a user-friendly program that combined comprehensive career information with the personal perspective provided by multimedia interviews with people in every occupation.
